Description Yan Gong CLA 2007-09-12 12:55:25 EDT 
Build ID: Ecllipse 3.3

Steps To Reproduce:
We are extending WTP Server Tools for our application server. on the new server runtime wizard page, it seems the runtime server name is given by WTP by using  server's name plus ( plus index plus ), for example, when I create the second runtime, I could get something like Server (1).  This request is about to allow server extention could modify the server runtime name in someway.

Can you give an example of how you'd want to change the name? Would it be enough if the current setDefaults() method could set the default name without it being overridden by the wizard?

Note that you would probably be responsible for ensuring that the name was unique and not already used by an existing server.

We would like to have a Name text field and as similar as it in Tomcat server runtime page. attached the screenshot

Sorry, missed the last update. This is the generic server wizard, and I believe the request here is for two things:
 * Wizard title should be based on the server's type, not the default name.
 * An entry field should be added to change the server's name.

This is a request we have received earlier, however because generic servers always have a server and runtime, I think it will be more confusing to new users.
